Nitinotes Brings EndoZip Automated Suturing System to France
Prof. Silvana Perretta has completed the first commercial EndoZip procedures at IHU Strasbourg, marking a significant step in the European expansion of Nitinotes’ automated suturing technology. The milestone underscores a push to simplify Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, making the weight-loss procedure accessible to a wider array of surgical specialists.
The integration of EndoZip into the IHU Strasbourg clinical workflow signals a shift in how obesity treatments are approached. Previously, Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) remained confined to a small circle of highly specialized endoscopists due to the intricate technical demands of manual suturing. By automating these key steps, Nitinotes aims to standardize the procedure, allowing bariatric and foregut surgeons to incorporate ESG into their practices with greater ease.
Prof. Perretta, a global authority in gastrointestinal innovation, highlighted that the primary hurdle for wider ESG adoption has been procedural complexity. Her initial experience with the platform suggests that automated systems can lower this barrier, potentially transforming ESG from a niche intervention into a more standard tool for obesity management. Following successful launches in Italy and Spain, this expansion into the French market confirms a growing commercial momentum for the device, which holds a CE Mark for use across the European Union.
